jcarter,
Graphic Converter 4.5.4 will open the Desktop pics...you can then use GC to reduce the picture size and resolution and save it web ready.

RobW,
, I'd hate to mow your yard.

jcarter,

I forgot to mention you need a web site to put your picture on before it can be posted here...at least I think that's the only way.

If you don't have a web site, then you can email the picture to someone who then can put it on their site and send you a URL to use when you post.

Email it to me and I'll get a URL for you.

Thank you Clay, I never thought of that! I have a Pbase.com photo album account, and I can put it there. I will do that this morning.

Here is one, http://www.pbase.com/image/13697542
I have a different picture every morning when I start the computer up.

Tonight?

The globe in the toolbar is a nifty discovery:
IC Switch lets you "quickly and easily (change) your default emailer, Web browser, and news reader, simply by choosing an item from a menu displayed in all applications."

Nice stuff. Saves messing with the Internet prefs.

jcarter , cute doggies. Yours?

Hi Krissel, The big one is Jordan, he is my brother's wife's father's dog. He is a pure yellowlab, the little one on the right is Muffin, our dog, she is a pound-hound and is part golden, lab, and something else like Samoyed(our vet thinks). She is dog #800 on smalldog.com. They are both waterdogs, is hard to keep them out of the ocean. They're lots of fun.

Thanks, Jane. I missed your kind comment earlier.
I like the way you've even "themed" your icons to your dogs! There are some lovely DTs here.
Where d'you all go for them, if they're not your very own pix? I soon got bored with the selection at places like MacDesktops, but have started to pillage people's art galleries. There's a host of such wonderful work out there.
I found that if you start at a place like, say
digital blasphemy (odd name!), and follow through on the user galleries, and then to their friends, you "meet" a lot of very talented people.

Hey Al...What's a BU?

jcarter · « **Reply #28 on:** March 02, 2003, 10:08:00 AM »

Yes, indeed there are some beautiful photos out there. But I, and my family, have had a lifelong hobby of taking pictures, so have thousands upon thousands of pix to work with. Scanning in over 60 years of family + travel photos + slides is time consuming, but rewarding. (Glad I retired recently.) Bought a Nikon Coolpix 990 about 3 years ago, and that opened up a whole new world of picture taking. I just bought Elements of Photoshop 2, and have been learning it. It does amazing stuff! I can spend hours on one single photo with it! (Hoping that Adobe comes out with Photoshop Album for Macs soon, I need it.)
